GeoTools service files not properly merged in R5 7.5

[mattwigway]

When trying to load raster cost data with R5 7.5, one gets the following familiar error:

INFO: 
org.opengis.referencing.NoSuchAuthorityCodeException: Authority "EPSG" is unknown or doesn't match the supplied hints. Maybe it is defined in an unreachable JAR file?

This is indicative of issues with merging the service entries in META-INF/services/ and is a common issue with shadow JARs using Geotools. Unfortunately with the move to Gradle 9 there have been some changes to the shadow JAR plugin that mean this merging doesn't work out of the box anymore. TL;DR to get the service files merged properly for a working shadowJar we need to add to build.gradle in the shadowJar section before the call to mergeServiceFiles:

    filesMatching("META-INF/services/**") {
        duplicatesStrategy = DuplicatesStrategy.INCLUDE
    }
